How long can they continue to manipulate silver prices?
Manipulations work to the extent that people think that they can still get real silver if they wanted to. As long as “everything is fine” then people will tend to trust paper promises. So, manipulations can continue until they run out of silver to deliver. Then, people start to wake up to reality, and decide they want to get silver, when silver is harder to get. Then, silver prices can move up very, very quickly. Manipulations typically continue, then, until a default, which is a failed delivery. Many failed deliveries have already happened, if you count the numerous delivery delays that have taken place from some of the largest mints in the world, the Perth Mint, the Northwest Territorial Mint, and the U.S. Mint. But apparently, these are not well publicized in the mainstream media channels, which seem to be more devoted to celebrity news, or news of the housing crunch and brokerage difficulties.
